I Love You for Always

 
 
kisses and wishes  
prayers and promises  
young hearts  
beating together  
to a world with golden hues  
clouds pink-tinted  
 
you and I  
holding hands, eyes for each other  
no one existed but us  
breathing each other's heart beat  
echoing each other's desire  
to be together entwined  
 
pinky-promised of love  
as eternal as eternity  
a little over the twelfth of never  
to seek each other  
in dreams  
and in life and living  
 
we gazed at the setting sun  
our world multi-hued  
as the blazing orb over the ocean  
we watched the sunrise  
our eyes feasting on the loviness  
of a new dawn  
 
and you and I we loved well  
our nights of soft giving  
our days filled with our breathing  
we inhaled and exhaled our love  
ribbon tied with a golden circle  
and they lit the nights

But at last, the dance was over
your eyes strayed to her
your indifference doused the fire
still mine flickers sometimes
when I remember you
through a song.
